Bayern took the lead in the first half when defender Niklas Süle in the 18th minute put the league leaders ahead in a game that could have been the 20th Bundesliga win for the season.
But to the dismay of Bayern fans, who were expecting a second goal, Muller erroneously struck his own net in 36 minutes.
